- واژهنامه · French & English to Persian Epistemological Dictionary bovine|boeuf|cow Etymology: Did you know that "cow," "beef," and "butter" all come from the same word? That word was Proto-Indo-European *gwou- "cow, bull," spoken 6,000 years ago. In the Germanic languages, the [w] dropped out and the [g] became closely related [k]: German "Kuh," Icelandic "kýr," and English "cow." The PIE root remained all but unchanged in Sanskrit " gauh ," currently "gAya" in Hindi. "Gauh" is found in goraksah "cowherd," the word the British borrowed as "Gurkha." In Latin and Greek, however, the combination [gw] converted to [b] at the beginning of a word, so we find Latin bos, bovis "ox, cow" and Greek bous "ox, cow." Latin "bovis" became "boeuf" in French, whence we borrowed it as "beef," the meat of the cow. (Until then, we ate cow.) "Butter?" It came to us via Latin from Greek bous "cow" + turos "cheese."
